The Light And the Dark
“It’s going to be the word in the beginning again, they write. But meanwhile in the schools they rattle on in the same old way, saying first of all there was a big bang, and the whole of existence went flying apart.
And what’s more, supposedly everything already existed even before the bang – all the galaxies we can see and the ones we can’t. In the same way that the future glass lives in the sand, and the grains of sand are the seeds of this window here, through which I’ve just seen a little bo...y run past outside with a football stuffed up the front of his T-shirt.
There was this bundle of intense warmth and light.
The scientists tell us it was the size of a football. Or a watermelon. And just like in the old riddle about the room full of people, with no doors or windows, we were tiny little seeds inside it. And when everything there inside was ripe and ready, it strained with all its might and burst out.
The primal watermelon hatched.
The seeds went flying off and sprouted.
One little seed put out a shoot and became our tree: there’s the shadow of one of its branches, creeping along the windowsill.MoreLess
